Beijing bans scooters and self-balancing transporters from roads

Beijing has amended a law on road traffic safety, banning the production, sale and use of unapproved motorcycles, motorized tricycles and four-wheelers in the capital.

People using self-balancing personal transporters and scooters as mobility means on roads will have their devices confiscated and face a fine of 200 yuan ($29). Unapproved mopeds will be phased out in Beijing too.

The amendment said food delivery platforms need to be legally responsible for courier compliance with traffic rules or face a fine of up to 50,000 yuan.
